"A few weeks ago, we announced several updates to the SkyMiles® Program to ensure that valued Medallion® Members like you are taken care of when you’re ready to start flying again, including extending 2020 Medallion Status through January 2022.

As part of that, knowing how important Status is to your travel experience, you are eligible to restart Reclaim My Status at any time once your travel picks back up.

If you weren’t able to successfully complete Reclaim My Status the first time, here’s what you need to know when you’re ready to start over again:

• Visit the Reclaim My Status enrollment page
• Enter the SkyMiles Number used in your original enrollment

Your three-month complimentary Status and new challenge qualification period will begin immediately upon enrollment.

For now, please know that we remain committed to providing you with the information and guidance you need to make informed decisions about your travel. Thank you for your continued loyalty, trust and support; and we look forward to serving you again whenever you are ready to fly."

It doesn't seem like there is any end-date by which we must restart the challenge. I know they're dealing with a lot right now, so I was impressed they focused on restarting these incomplete challenges.
